What is homeopathy and how does it work

Homeopathy uses minute amounts of natural substances to treat the underlying causes of illness. Remarkably effective in dealing with both acute and chronic conditions (such as eczema, migraines, menopausal problems, sleep etc.), homeopathy strengthens the body’s own ability to heal itself. It adopts a truly holistic approach in its consideration of mental, emotional, spiritual and physical aspects of an individual. With no side effects and with its medicines easily affordable, it can benefit anyone and be of particular use in conditions in which drug treatment is ineffective or inappropriate.

Homeopathy recognises symptoms as part of the body’s natural mechanism to fight illness and restore balance. Rather than trying to hide or mask the symptoms, Heal Yourself sees these symptoms as the body’s natural way to cope with the disease by selecting remedies that support the patient’s own healing mechanism.

Each solution for each patient is different, even if the illness or allergy is the same. For example, 2 people who suffer from sleeplessness will receive different homeopathic solutions depending on their own expression of the symptoms. Heal Yourself recognises the mind-body connection and carefully treats both physical and psychological ailments helping to regain energy, vitality and good health.

What happens after a consultation

After taking your remedy you may notice some changes. Some clients experience a period of exceptional well-being and optimism. Occasionally your symptoms may appear to get worse before it gets better. This is a good sign and indicates that the remedy is in fact taking effect. These symptoms do pass and it is essential you remain positive during this important part of the healing process.

“Conventional medicine had given me uncomfortable side effects. I was a little apprehensive taking the ‘alternative’ route, but after just one consultation I felt confident that Lesley could help me. Within weeks my life had turned around, my condition improved immensely and I had no side effects at all.” RL Herts
